Well depends how long till japan catches up in air or ground OR HELICOPTERS?
Which is to apologizes for the utter neglect of japan in every other area.
I don’t even get why people are talking about the Yamato. But since it’s being discussed, let me tell you, the Yamato won’t break the meta at all… It’ll get sunk in seconds by Phantoms with Mavericks and Kirov-class cruisers with missiles. Then Gaijin will hide it under the excuse that it’s “impossible to balance,” only to bring it back for anniversary events once a year ;)

In terms of Helicopters Japan has none, theres an SH-60 we can get and another domestic with 4 hellfires I believe

Japan does not suffer anywhere near as much as you act like it does.

Not true we have the oh-1 and ah-2 prototypes but that didnt stop them from adding the adats or the hstvl did it
HAHAH you say that as japanese main clearly
That was rejected the chu-mpm was rejected despite I dunno there already being spike 2s for no reason. WE got a slighted armored huge battle bus with a 30 mm as our ground TOP PREMUIM
Type-10 is one of the better MBT’s in game. F15JM is one of the best aircraft in game. Japan without doubt has the strongest top tier naval roster in the game.
Yet hear you are, telling me Japan needs Yamato because it suffers at top tier in every aspect of the game.
It beggars belief. It has to be trolling.

His point is that Japan has less options everywhere else so they should just jump to the end in Naval… for some reason.
I co-opted it by giving it a different, albeit just as nuts, conclusion.
I stand by it, too. The full 八八艦隊 should be added right now.

Air:
F-15 is meta jet right now, and the AAM-3 are the best IR Missile in game and the AAM-4 are the best ARH missiles in the game. Technically, Japan has the best jet in the game right now with the F-15J(M)
F-2 likely next update I reckon and possible Thai Gripen C in your future
Ground
I havent heard anything good about Japanese tanks but nor have I heard anything bad. They are average, way better than the Challenger 2 or Ariete but not as good as the Leopard 2A7. Japans ground only seems to be really lacking a decent top IFV (like most nations) and a decent top tier SAM (which 50% are lacking currently)
Overall, Id put Japan as middle of the pack, ahead of Israel, Britain and Italy in overall top tier ground health, but just behind France and the US.
Naval
Japan dominates, if it wasnt for Scharnhorst, id give Japan the strongest naval tree in the game.

The type 10 doesnt handle like it should it doesnt fire like it should and the type 10 round has one of the worst spalls of any top tier round in games. It’s also nearly always a fatal hit on a type 10
Even though they are quite gimped and only pull true 35gs :p
Which is being solved with the Type 24 this patch hopefully
So your entire argument for completely breaking naval and securing completely broken Japanese dominance in the mode for years to come is…
Checks notes
Type-10 is slow.
Epic.

I dont have issue with Japan having a good naval tree, but can Britain be allowed to get 1x WW2 BB or 16 incher.
Like HMS King George V or HMS Rodney before we start talking about the Yamato. Naval compression is bad enough as it is without adding an 18" gun ship vs vessel that probably cant pen her armour reliably.

Which one?
I don’t think any of the reputable leak lists had it.
Also the Yamato debate is silly. As someone who mains Japan for Naval, they really don’t need it now. Yeah Japan is not the best in Ground or Air. Making them overpowered in Naval does not fix the problem lol

I don’t doubt it, but its reload alone makes it viable.
It’s certainly no worse than a Chally / Ariete / Merk.
